The fans are actually quite grunty and move a bunch of air. I built for a
mate using a P5KE-Deluxe and he didn't need them as they're for use with H2O
cooling. (They can compete against air from an air-cooling solution and
cause a dead-spot.)

I've got them in my drawer, I'm sure I'll find a use for them sometime. My
P5KE-WiFi-AP only has one of the MOSFET coolers (I made another one up for
the other bank myself) and I'm using a Tt Mini-Typhoon to cool so don't need
them for my board either.

I actually tried to get some after I got my board, before I did the mate's
build, from the NZ importer, just to see if they could be of use on my
build. "Sorry, only available as part of the mobo package".

If you are worried about heat, get yourself the Antec 900 case. I just
installed my P5K-E WIFI into one of these. I am running a Q6600 , 4
SATA hard drives, 2 DVD rom writers. Using PC Wizard 2008, my CPU temp
is sitting at 20c, cores are running at 33c and mainboard is at 28c.
The case has a 200mm fan on top, 120mm at rear and 2x120mm at front of
drive bays. Each bay holds 3 drives and has 1 of the front fans
mounted to it. Also has a space for a side case fan as an option. I
did install a fan here. If you are using only one of the hard drive
bays, you receive another fan mount for the rear of the cage for
another 120 mm to cool your full legnth video card. As well the front
bay inserts are perforated to allow more air through.....
